The September 29, 2010 online edition of My Black News is an excellent example of its leading role in disseminating African American News. In a business news article by David Johnson of SouthTown Star, two Southland leaders offer lesson in how to bring about change. It is widely recognized that American education is in free fall and communities of color are hurt the most from this. Fortunately for residents of the south suburbs, there are outstanding leaders like Blondean Davis and Michael Stuttley. Davis is the educator who opened the Southland Charter Prep High School despite opposition from the school board in Rich Township High School District 227. Davis has been successful in raising the educational performance of students in Matteson School District 162, where she is superintendent. In a district where 40 percent of the families are classified as low-income and more than 90 percent are African American and other discriminated groups, more than 80 percent of the students meet or exceed the state’s standards for annual yearly progress. Judge Stuttley, like Davis, developed a reputation for his steadfast support of youth. Stuttley worked overtime to prevent the region’s youth from entering the criminal justice system by offering GED classes and alternative sentencing programs. It was recognized that a broad-based coalition is required to create a movement for educational and criminal justice reform. In the World News, an interesting news article was the report on the McLean project which proposes enhanced food production strategy for Africa. The McLean Project promotes patented technology that enhances water quality and will increase fish populations in Africa. The project has also developed a plan to transport fresh water from US rivers to Africa.
